Something To Say

MAP

Do trees and plants and animals have the same consciousness as we do?

They are more connected – in many ways.  You are here to experience separation and they are not.

You are waking up to your unseparateness and have much to learn from the world around you.  That is part of the game you came to play so learn it well.

You also have much to learn from space.  You will learn much more about both at the same time and separately.  Their interactions and similarities you will find intriguing. 

Do  not forget you are all energy – the space in between the molecules.  Trees haven’t forgotten that so much as you have because of how you experience the world.

Will trees ever learn from us?

That depends.  Right now not so much.  What do you think they could learn from you?

Hopefully not all our bad habits!  Trees have a pretty good process going – they have most, if not all the bases covered.

I would have to say they could learn curiosity from us.

What makes you think they are not curious?

I’m taking a guess here to answer your question.  For all I know they could be very curious.

The reason I would pick curiosity as something trees could learn from us is they have been doing the same thing for thousands of years.

They adapt to changing conditions – those outward / external pressures you spoke about a few days ago – but do they say “hey, what would happen if …”  I don’t know.  I’d like to find out.

You can.

How?

Talk to a tree – several trees – about their experiences.  Go to the source.

It would be a good exercise for you in connecting on a different level.

See if trees are curious.  Check in with other plants and animals too.

I suppose if we here are all a reflection of each other then I would anticipate the answer could be “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” for the majority, and the odd plant or animal would be out to see something new.

What can you learn from trees and plants and animals?

Interconnectedness.  …  …   Interrelatedness.

For as much as there are examples of a violent natural world there are more examples I believe of the integration of diversity in harmonious living arrangements.

We could also learn ways to not consume or destroy our environment – live with our surroundings rather than in our surroundings.

But hey – nature has its violent nature too (bad pun).  Water is destructive as is wind.  What about weeds or animals that take over, over populate and choke out everything in the area.  Or viruses and bacteria.  There’s good and bad all around us.  We’re not the only enemy.

You have funny language.  Your violent nature tends to show itself through your words.

Violent, good and bad, enemy – those all show your default view of the world as being at odds with it – you are ready to battle at any time to defend yourself.

That perspective is one you must change as part of seeing yourself as a part of the world around you instead of being apart from the world around you.

Pay attention to your language and see all the places where you are ready to fight, go to battle, slay the enemy – any enemy that might be of harm to you – whether it has demonstrated any hint of such action or not.

You are at a point now where your kill-or-be-killed mentality is starting to work very hard against you.

You cannot come together and overcome your separatist ways until you recognize you are all in this together.  Your energy is their energy.

You need each other to survive – and by that I mean you need everything to survive – not just you and your technology.

As you have said before, you are coming to a point of switching from survival mode to thrivival mode.

There is another word for your list – survival.

Think of all the meaning and subtleties it holds.  Far more extensive than you care to admit.

Take a good look at that word and all the ways it influences your behaviors, interactions and ways in the world with each other.
